1.38

jātir yātu rasātalaṃ guṇa-gaṇais tatrāpy adho gamyatāṃ
śīlaṃ śaila-taṭāt patatv abhijanaḥ sandahyatāṃ vahninā |
śaurye vairiṇi vajram āśu nipatatv artho 'stu naḥ kevalaṃ
yenaikena vinā guṇas tṛṇa-lava-prāyāḥ samastā ime ||

Let caste go to the nether world, and the host of virtues sink down even below it; / let moral conduct fall from a mountain cliff, let noble descent be consumed by fire; / let a thunderbolt quickly strike down upon valor, that enemy; let wealth alone be ours, / without which single thing all these virtues are merely like bits of grass.
